Piedmontese is pure Irish Beef and is lean. If you think you can’t eat beef because of a high fat content, you might be pleasantly surprised. Piedmontese beef is bred to be lower in fat than chicken is, and we all tend to associate chicken with low fat cooking.

I decided to make my Piedmontese mince into a mild chilli. It was really very good and even my fussy youngest polished his off. If you want to try it, you’d need to head on over to the Fresh Food Guru in the UK and order some for yourself.
